inter-Korea relations

South Korea’s policies toward Pyongyang differ less from administration to administration than is often assumed.

Calling Seoul’s offer “an absurd dream,” Kim Yo Jong derided the South Korean president with North Korean-style insults. 

On South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol’s 100th day in office, North Korea test-fired its two cruise missiles.

An upswing in negative government messaging may represent the greater threat to building peace between North and South Korea.

During his inauguration speech, South Korea’s new president floated the possibility of providing economic packages to Pyongyang in return for denuclearization.

The incoming Yoon administration will change Seoul’s overtures on North Korea issues. As a result, the arms race will likely be intensified in the coming years. 

South Koreans increasingly reject reunification with the North amid intensifying hostility and indifference. But inter-Korean relations that prioritize economic ties over reconciliation easily fall prey to global geopolitics.

The response and counter-response to North Korea's latest missile test will send crucial signals about the possibility for talks in 2022.

Support for unification has been weakening for a while. Will changing attitudes be reflected in the next presidential administration?
